Multiple POV

Switching viewpoints today. I wasn’t thinking I would end up writing from another POV in this book, but today it turned out that way. Then while I was writing today, I had the idea pop into my head that I may end up crisscrossing many different POV’s from here on out. The ones in the story, but still, I’ve been fairly consistent with not doing that. I do a couple POV’s but not a lot.

It’d be new for me period. I usually don’t follow a strict rule with how many scenes a person can hold and whatnot. If my editor thinks one person hasn’t been shown enough, she may mention it and I’ll inject some more, but overall, I write as the people (and scenes) come to me, as the story develops. For me, that’s my writing style now. I may change that later on, but for now I can safely say it’s my style.

I think of George R.R. Martin when I consider so many different POV’s. My thoughts are mixed on all the ones he uses so I try to be conscious of that and ensure that at the end of the day, it doesn’t take anything away from the story. I know for sure I’m going to do that in a new series that will branch off of Dark Moon Dynasty Universe. That’s because all the previous series in the Dark Moon Dynasty Universe will converge in a final series (don’t know the name of the series so I can’t say what it will be). I know a lot of different POV’s will be in those stories which I find exciting, albeit it will be challenging. I didn’t expect to have multiple POV’s in this series though.

How do you make more Chapters when you're using the templates from CreateSpace?
I've noticed a lot of people having problems with the CreateSpace templates and when I went to look for this question, I couldn't find much information on it, plus it was late and I didn't care to sift through all the information.
So when I finally figured it out on my own, I thought I would go ahead and let you know how to. But with screenshots! I would try and make it as CLEAR as I could, and the process as SIMPLE as I could.
To start, I will say that there isn't really anything wrong with CS Templates... when you understand how to use them, and you figure out the fixes to do the changes you need. They are Templates. They aren't meant to be the complete answer to the needs for formatting a book. I changed a lot of the texts, and the customized "styles" that the person who made the template, had in there. To fit my needs for this particular book I'm working on. In …

We’re finally getting answers. And as typical, the way the answers are being given in the story, isn’t the way I had it planned in my head. Or not planned, but maybe I should say, how I expected it to go. I expected the information to come in a much different way, different person as well.Well, surprise surprise, the story didn’t go the way it was supposed to go. Random thought that crosses the mind: gotta do my newsletter today, lol. So I’ll cut this a bit shorter than I wanted to. Not much to discuss anyway. I have a lot of things I have to do today. Outside and inside. Hoping I hit my ten pages of edits today, but if I don’t, since I got 15 yesterday, I know I’ll be okay.Word count I started the day with: 36,783Word count I ended the day with: 38,046Total for the day: 1263 words

Okay, updated my books page to include the information for Under Empty Starsas well as the information for when Ancient Scars is releasing, and the other novels. Still have to make a cover for the short story I finished as well as a page, and finish typing up the story – tentative title for that one is Bittersweet Reality. Also the other shorts I have waiting. The Riverand the Into the Midstcompilation. Also updated my sidebar for the blog finally. Been the same format for a while so it needed one.(Sidenote: arch of my right foot is itching like crazy so I’m scooching around in the chair trying to itch it through my boot – not easy! haha)I was thinking about something just a bit ago too. What is the best way to describe The Guardian of Life series for those who haven’t seen me talking about it? The best way to describe The Guardian of Life series is a bit Mother Earth meets Mad Max meets Dune meets Total Recall meets dare I have the audacity to put it in the same category Star Wars. O…
